New Book: Racism, Where Is Your Sting? A provocative look at the beginning and the end of racism by Eric Tangumonkem, Ph.D

Each time the issue of racism is mentioned, 

tensions immediately run high, reason is thrown out the window, and emotional outbursts run rampant. Even though a lot of effort has been done to fight it, the devastating consequences continue to this day.

The heart of this book is focused on the key elements that make racism possible and how to starve the lifeblood to these key elements and eradicate them from the root. Since racism is based on the faulty notion that one race is superior to another, you need somebody who believes that they are superior and another person who believes that they are inferior. When these two people interact, the outcome will reflect what they believe about themselves and their circumstances.

This may sound too simplistic, but it is one of the major drivers of racism. In addition to superiority and inferiority beliefs, acts of impunity and unforgiveness are the other drivers. You have those that believe they are superior, and in their zeal to impose their superiority, they harm those they are trying to keep in their inferior position. The individuals who are hurt “rightly” want to seek revenge and unfortunately fall into the unforgiveness pit, where they become trapped by hate and vengeance. I hope that the simple message of hope in this book will shed some much-needed light in the darkness of one of the darkest pages of human history. We are going to be affirming that there is one human race. In addition to one human family, none is superior to another, and none is inferior as well. We are all created in the image and likeness of God, and the amount of melanin in our skin does not and should never be used to define us. When we gain this understanding, believe, and start acting on it, it is only then that we can all ask the question, “Oh, racism, where is your sting?

An American hero is torn between love for his family and his commitment to his country.

Born into poverty, this bastard orphan from the Caribbean, Alexander Hamilton, rises to become one of the foremost leaders of our fledgling nation. Marrying for love into one of American's most powerful families, he fathers a family whom he adores.

But with politics, nothing changes. It was then as it is now: turbulent, violent, and often deadly.

When Hamilton's eldest child is murdered in a duel, his world and his family are torn asunder. This foul crime sets Alexander on a tragic course that will shock the nation. Will it also destroy his beloved family?

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the founding of a nation, Hamilton's Choice chronicles the tragic final years of Alexander Hamilton.
